Reason to Smile #9

Fireflies

If you think about it, these insects butts glow to attract another firefly . . . like how can someone not smile when they think about that. I grew up in a state that did not have fireflies also known as lightning bugs, and the fact that I did not discover these joyful insects until I was a teenager makes me sort of sad. I love walking at night and seeing them light of the dark summer sky; buzz buzz buzz - glow - buzz buzz buzz - glow. They are fun to try to catch, but normally won't light up in a jar so once caught should be let go. The best part is there is never just one, but sometimes hundreds and seemingly thousands, all putting on a show. Fireflies are some of the only insect I enjoy being in the same area as.
